We knew it was only a matter of time and now we have it: a solid gold iPad from Stuart Hughes. The iPad is getting blinged up just like every other Apple gadget and this version of the famed tablet, called the iPad Supreme Edition, gets the royal treatment of 53 individually set flawless diamonds (totaling 25.5cts) and a back and side housing of a single solid piece of 22k gold. The iPad Supreme Edition also features Wi-Fi, 3G, and 64 GB capacity and is available in a limited edition of only 10 for just over $188,000 each.

cute but a total WASTE of money

You would have to have more Dollars than sense to buy one of these

The days of conspicuous consumption are over. To post this stuff looks like you're stuck in a time when hedonism was acceptable. Either that, or just desperate for advertising $$.

Obviously they are building these because there are people out there who will spend that kind of money, if not more? And to think there was such a thing as a recession going on! lol

Well, America! You want to know why we're in a recession? I'm sure someone is refing their house to get one of these? Don't laugh, because how many of you idiots out there refinanced your house to buy a new car?

why do people wast their money on something like this, when they could acurly be helping to pay of the trilions of dollors the u.s. owe? even if it's only a little every penny will count right? at this rate we will never pay it off and our taxes will just continue to grow

I hope who ever gets one, drops it.

What's the matter with you people? Are you so limitted in your view of life that if it doesn't "fit" what you think it should be that it is either a complete waste or foolish? Maybe it is but so what? It's NO different that some very poor person who doesn't have a clue to where of IF they are going to eat later today and them seeing YOU buy an X-Box or the plain jane I-Pad. To them, that's a complete waste of money but to anyone buying such things, it's just something extra, something they may feel the deserve or even need (cough cough lol) Relax, people who spend this kind of money on one of these things can afford it, it's NOTHING to them to drop a hundred grand on something "fun" no more than how others can drop a couple hundred.

Americans really don't starve... I mean only if your poor and stupid at the same time. We have food stamps, soup kitchens, churches, shelters, I mean I've seen some of my class from highschool on the street, it's not hard to eat if your hungry.

As for the iPad, people that are actually rich, wouldn't buy that, a rapper might, or some upper middle class dipshit trying to impress his friends might.

I have friends that could afford that while I myself can't, I would laugh at the useless upgrade to a relatively useless gadget/fad if any of my friends bought one. I mean 180k? Go buy a boat, a lakehouse, or invest in gold, more than like 18 oz of it.

Joe May 29th 2010 4:07PM

LaRue I agree with you. I also think if someone actually spends their money on something like this that they already have done the things like investing and have boat(s) along with everything else. To them, this is something "fun" while to the average person we just can't really understand it. All I'm saying is a couple hundered grand to them is like a couple hundred bucks to us. No need for people to get all bent out with these folks. I'd like to think they have already given plenty of money (more than most could even think about) to others who actually need it. I'm sure if someone won 2 hundered thousand bucks wouldn't go and spend most all of it on this damn thing lol Well, one second thought I'm sure there are a few lol.

That is someone's foreclosured mortgage. These guys have no value in human lives who are suffering do to low economy. Grow up, people are hurting.
I am a poor grad student and cannot afford to book.

The article fails to state how much the iPad weighs.

I like it, buy it, if one can afford it. It is an ornament of life. Living in 24 ct gold.
Think of good. Think of high. Think positive.
All kind of people live in America. Good luck, buy it,enjoy it, afterward give to your grand children./////////////
